my little daughter had the dysentery
In Its worst form We thought she
would die. I tried eveiythlng I could
think of. but nothing seemed to do her
any good. I Baw by an ndveitlsement

Cholera and' Diarrhoea Remedy was
highly recommended and sent and got
a bottle at once. It ptoved to bo one
of the very best medicines we ever had
In the house. It saved my little
daughter's life. I am aiulous for every
mother to know what an excellent
medicine it is. Had I known It at first
It would have saved mo a greut deal
of anxiety and my little daughter
much suffeilng, Yours truly, Mrs.
